Three young brothers who have been firing catapults at passing cars, terrorising their neighbourhood and killing animals in Colnbrook have been issued with youth injunctions.
Following action by Slough Borough Council, Maidenhead Youth Court in Berkshire issued 12-month injunctions against 12-year-old Danny Smith, 14-year-old Mickey Dean Smith and 16-year-old Billy Smith, from Moreland Avenue, Colnbrook.
Following complaints from neighbours, police and businesses, the trio – who were accused of offences including torturing and abusing neighbours’ pets – are now under curfew banning them from leaving home without a responsible adult between 9pm and 6am.
They can also not act in an anti-social manner, which includes carrying catapults or other weapons, using threatening or abusive language and harming animals.
Paul Sohal, a councillor, said: “They have been systematically and continuously waging a war of harassment, cruelty and anti-social behaviour on local residents…For too long these young people have refused to change their behaviour.”
